"Greatest Hits" is a compilation album by the American rock band Boston. Released on April 22, 1997, about 21 years after the band's first studio album, it showcases songs from their first four albums as well as three new songs. In the CD's booklet, the band proclaims that it is drug free and against cruelty of any kind; every page has a picture of an animal. Since this album, the band has put out a new studio album, "Corporate America". The Boston website has reported that Boston founder Tom Scholz is remastering this album, as he did for 2006 releases of "Boston" and "Don't Look Back".
